- Abstract
- Background/Aims: Chronic right ventricular pacing (RVP) can lead to increased risks of ventricular dyssynchrony (VD), heart
failure, and mortality. This study examined the factors influencing VD in patients treated with a permanent pacemaker (PPM).
Methods: The study enrolled 139 patients (M:F=1:1.35, 66.8±1.0 years) who had permanent pacemaker implanted [AAI (R): 11,
VVI (R): 39, VDD (R): 50, DDD: 39]. Their clinical characteristics, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, and laboratory
parameters were evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of VD.
Results: VD was seen in 71.9% of the patients with a PPM. No significant difference was observed in the clinical characteristics,
except for the indications and current action mode of the PPM. VD was more frequently associated with patients with AV block and
ventricular pacing. The QRS duration and QTc interval were significantly wider in patients with VD (159.9±3.2 vs. 129.4±6.3 ms,
p<0.001; 487.7±4.0 vs. 470.9±8.0 ms, p<0.05, respectively). On echocardiography, tricuspid regurgitation was more common in
patients with VD. The N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level was higher in the dyssynchrony group (431.4±66.1
vs. 202.8±40.8, p<0.05).
Conclusions
Patients with AV block and ventricular pacing developed VD more frequently. A higher serum NT-proBNP level
and prolonged QRS duration, QTc, and tricuspid regurgitation might be associated with VD. (Korean J Med 78:59-67, 2010)
